Make sure the box is spinning the right way Get a flywheel tool and do it up proper tight, my alpha loved popping flywheels off until I have in a bought the tool
Losi 1.0 turnbuckles ordered. They won't be going again. Too much droop on front didn't help the drive shaft pop out annoyingly.
Was down the track last night and it felt a little better but not perfect. Shocks require heavier oil for sure
Practice - 1 lap - rear diff cup failure. Repaired and got back to track as time ran out.
Race 1 - 2 laps - car cuts out
Race 2 - turnbuckles fail so max camber
Race 3 - started off well, car kicked up off a bump in main straight and flipped. Front driveshaft popped
Final B - 5 minute mark - turnbuckles fail AGAIN. Raced until 22 minutes and couldn't bare the handling anymore.
The track was very very rough due to the dry weather. Needs some work for sure. It'll be back to its smooth self again though
Random snap from Final A
Bit crap but had a play with the 5000 at dirt masters. Some came out peachy on the mac, only a few iffy ones on the phone currently
Annoyingly the ones I've pulled into Lightroom so far seem to indicate I have a dead (red) pixel on sensor
After a TERRIBLE dirt masters I've purchased different turnbuckles and 2 smart diffs for the eu. Apart from that, literally threw it into the garage from the car boot
I'd be interested to see the kit, new buggy next season looming for the SRS and whilst I like the losi, its a little bitch to setup and be stable, well especially Clanfield. Hope you don't care about your underneath chassis :-)
Get your arse down to me, I owe you a drink after your advice about my diff when building the EU. Look for the blue/purple BMW with reg R30RY W Yes very vain plate
I found out a couple hours ago annoyingly! Been mad with work over the last week, it was a two dayer but spoke to Tony (owner) earlier and mentioned if required I'd get there early to help with track as per usual.
He laughed and informed me it was now a one dayer.
Annoyed, but bloody glad as I have 2 sets of shocks to rebuild yet
You attending?
Still not touched and only 16 hours until kickoff.
Leaving it late I think lol
Also found my rear wing mounts have melted from it being sat in the car today!
Realised I haven't touched it in 3 weeks since last meet. So mad rush today for strip and rebuild inc new diff housings all round with new weight oils. Panic stations as its dirt masters this weekend for a 2 day meet
